"I can confirm that U.S. military and partner nation forces are undertaking military action against ISIL terrorists in Syria using a mix of fighter, bomber and Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles," said Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary. "Given that these operations are ongoing, we are not in a position to provide additional details at this time."

An image from a French military video shows the destruction of a munitions and fuel depot captured by Islamic State militants on Sept. 19 in Iraq. An airstrike by French fighter jets destroyed the logistics depot that was overrun and captured by the militants.
